Wyclef Jean Will Not Stop Running For the Haitian Presidency, No Matter What Haiti Has To Say About It

August 23, 2010

Despite the fact that a Haitian electoral board ruled late Friday night that Wyclef Jean was ineligible to run for the country’s presidency–presumably because he doesn’t meaningfully live in Haiti at all, though the board didn’t give a reason–Jean has now decided to appeal the decision. After, that is, declaring just two and half days ago: “I respectfully accept the committee’s final decision.” Not anymore! He’s since directed his lawyers to appeal the ruling to Haiti’s national electoral dispute office, because he has a document ”which shows everything is correct” That must be some document!
